    let it make peace with me;
    let it make peace with me.^(A)

⁸ In overflowing wrath for a moment
    I hid my face from you,
but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,

    no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas; they speak lies,
    conceiving mischief and bearing iniquity.^(A)
